They went above and beyond to get our project done before we had a party planned, which we sincerely appreciate. The crew was kind, worked extremely hard and left the space tidy and neat at the end of each day. We have two big dogs, and they passed the dog test -- our pups loved them and I can't say that for all people. I will be recommending their work to anyone that needs their yard redone. Looking forward to using them again when we want to redo our front yard. Photos of before and after!

I had asked that we need to replace the barrier underneath. The got it done in about 2 days. The 2nd project we had grass installed in our backyard and get the sprinklers working again (previous owners never got it fixed, so I'm glad that it wasn't any major work). They did it all in one day. They did a fantastic job - so fast, but most importantly, great quality and such good value. I would hire them again for future projects and highly recommend them to others.

** The following review reflects my experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. **…read more These are indeed challenging times, and I'm not even referring to the pandemic itself but how life throws you lemons unexpectedly. Well, I'm not the self-sufficient, HGTV-obsessed type that can make lemonade out of those lemons. That's why I appreciate a responsive and conscientious business owner like Jeremy who handled two separate tree trimming situations for me. The first was triggered by a neighbor who complained my backyard tree was encroaching on her property. I just wasn't aware since I don't live there, and indeed it was overgrown and needed attention. I found Jeremy when I went searching for a tree service on Yelp. He was the first to respond to the suggested inquiries, and we were able to meet within a couple of days in order to assess the job and give me a quote. Within a couple of weeks, accompanied by his crew, he took care of the trimming by messaging me helpful photo updates for feedback and guidance and hauling away the debris all within an afternoon. Just a few weeks later, the turbulent rainstorms knocked down the fencing around my place, and I needed a lot of trees to be cut back and cleared away. Once again, for a reasonable price, he managed this job by himself in a single afternoon. I found out later he also handles fence replacements and landscaping, and I would've asked him for an estimate had I not found someone else for that part of the job. Jeremy never asked me to review him here, but I wanted to let others know I have been a very satisfied customer of his services. RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

Once we started working with them, they were everything you'd want in an engagement and more. Extremely reliable, responsible, dependable, and definitely went above and beyond in so many ways. They walk you through every step of the process but also let you be involved with as little or as much as possible. So attentive and available whenever we had questions about anything. All of their crew onsite were friendly and respectful. We added on things along the way but they still met the original timeline discussed. We could not be happier with the turnout and spend so much more time in our yard now! Would recommend and happily be a resource for anyone considering.

From the moment I reached out to Pat, we connected right away. He is incredibly knowledgeable about landscape design, layout, and all things plants. He really helped us see what was possible.

Once it was cleared, we finally saw how much usable space we truly had -- and we even uncovered a view! We were so pleased with the entire process -- from design to execution -- and absolutely love the end result. Working with Pat and Ricardo was seamless, professional, and collaborative.

His attention to detail and getting things right even when it added to his labor and material costs was appreciated. The quote was more reasonable than 2 other quotes and there were no "surprise and add-on costs."
